I guess I don't see the big objection.  Mostly what people seem to be
upset over is that, since there can't be a cop on every corner, the camera
greatly increases their chances of being caught when they choose to break
the law.  I don't have a lot of sympathy for that argument.  The laws are
there for a reason.
